Fire at the COmi0ue.

The property room at the rear CT the
Comique caught fire at about IL O'Clock
last night from a lamp exploding on a
shell. 1t communicated rapidly in the in.
fammable surroundings of the place, which
is a frame structure, about fifteen feet
square. The roof was lined with canvas,
which completely burned off and the whole
room was filled with dense smoke, when a
lad, Wm. NJ. Wright, noticed it and CAV
the alarm. Before. the Fire Depart
ment arrived the theater hose, which
is always kept ready, was
turned on and the blaze quenched. The
boys of the Department arrived in a few
minutes, under Captain O'Brien. and all
possibility of danger was ended by their
thoroughly drenching everything, pulling
down the smouldering fragments. and ex-
tinguishing the last spark e%ffectually.
Great credit is due them for their prompt.
tude. The fire lodged in an excelsior mat
tress and made u sitting smoke, but ten
minutes active work saved everything.
The property was uninsured. Mr.. Richie
places the loss at $500. No stampede
WAS caused in the theater. nor
even an interruption of the piece in pro.
eress. Some sets OF the old Arion we're
the property destroyed. The loss
is chiefly by smoke and water.

BONANZA
For a Young Man OF 80 Who Can Fill
the Bill.

One OF those timid. sweetly confdins
epistles that appeal to the tenderest and
hottest emotions OF our rude masculine ma
lures was received in this office yesterday
from a young lady in Ogden, Utah, with a
request from the writer OF a service that
THE MINER hastens to render. The lady
| had observed in the columns of one OF the
effete daiIies of a prominent Pacific Coast
city numerous encomiums of the stalwart,
well-heeled sons of Montana. They were
alluded to in terms OF such high praise that
the lady had been impressed with their de-
STABILITY as partners for life, and hence
her modest request to THE MINER to insist
in its columns q notice to this effect:
IA young lady who resides at Ogden,
Utah, wishes to correspond with a gentle
man about 80 years old, and who is a So
her, steady and Industrious man. and who
has a small fortune. She is a tall, slender.
dark Completed lady, who is capable OF
doing any kind of work in the lineof house
keeping"
There! Will we? We should smile! "Tall,
slender, dark completed" she says, but
she omits to mention those liquid orbs that
can melt with ineffable tenderness or flash
with the fire of Juno. She forgets to allude
to the ra ven tresses that hang in bewilder-
ing profusion over her alabaster brow and
meander bewitchingly down her s~an-like
neck. She says nothing about a sylph.like
waist that men and gods would tremble to
~encircle with profane arms. Where are the
No. l feet with high Spanish instep, or the
cherry red lips pouting to be kissed pat.
termed after Cupid's bow? Will we give
other fellows a chance where we have the
first call on a bonanza like this ?
Do we burn the midnight oil just
to furnish loafers that eat three meals

ings and empty stock ranges? Well, that

Association in the last burg we located in

has strictly honorable ~leanings in her di-
rection may apply to THE MINER for her
address. Don't all apply at once. This is
genuine and straight goods. Thedocument
every indication OF sincerity and, since
stand no show, some good man can
claim the bonanza.

DR.. Mclaughlin OF Philadelphia read a
report day before yesterday at a meeting
OF the hospital committee in that city in
which he cited experiments made upon
thirty patients suffering from the last stages
Of consumption. All medicines were aban-
doned and the patients treated to ememas
OF carbonic acid gas prepared by a process
given by a French physician. The results
were surprising. The night sweats ceased,
all pains left them and their appetites re-
turned. 1t is presumed the patients recov.
cred. The discovery is a wonderful one
and il the cure be permanent it will bring
health and happiness to thousands Who are
dying with that dread disease.

The late scandalous divorce trials in
England and Scotland nave moved nearly
two hundred and fifty members of the
House OF Commons to sign a memorial to
prevent the publication of offensive details
in such cases. The matter will be brought
before Parliament. As the publication of
such matter would properly come under
the head of obscere literature, the law
passed at the last session of the Legisla-

mails in Montana. Our Territorial con-

Inter Mountain reported the matter at all,

lost story about Judge McLeary, which
appeared in it's columns last evening, is
evidence OF the benighted condition OF the

PLEASURE AND BUSINESS

Mr.. Geo. Engclhardt, importer OF
and dealer in stoves, chandeliers,
lamps, etc, has resolved to take a
vacation, and go to San Francisco
for n change. He considers himself
entitled to little rest and recreation,
and he is certainly the proper person
to settle question Of that nature.
But it is not merely trip of pleasure
that Mr.. Engelhardt is bent upon.
He will combine business herewith.
In fact, business is probably the
main object. Knowing, from long
experience, what are the requirements
and demands of this market, he will
be able to procure in San Francisco
just the very stock that suits the
taste of Honolulu people. So that
in few weeks he may be expected
back with shipment of lamps, chan
deliers, and articles in the hardware
line, that for beauty, variety, quality,
and cheapness will astonish the com
munity. During Mr.. Engelhardt's
absence from the country, his bust
ness will go on here as usual G..
